Finally got around to photographing my ROTJ Special Edition suit with decent lighting (i.e. - Not a convention) to track my progress between my first suit (Celebration V, 2010) and now. All of the armor was upgraded to Fettpride, better soft-parts were acquired and tailored, and overall paint-jobs were more accurate. I can honestly say I've come a long way, but this isn't the end of the road...there are no doubt more and more ways (I can think of at least 5 off the top of my head) to improve on the suit, and until I can get it looking near identical to the promo shots of the SE suit, I'll constantly strive to obtain better parts, and apply better paint methods. It's been an immensely fun (and nerve-racking) experience, and I'm hoping my next full-build thread will be of the finalized suit.

Holy cow! That is a work of art. The extra tailoring really brings it together. One of the things consistently sticks out to me is people wearing flightsuits shaped awkwardly for their body, and it detracts from the whole aura. Yours however, is done very well. Kudos!
